My top ten favorite books are kind of a mix of different genres. Some are by the same author, Sarah Dessen, because she's my favorite. Some are sad and some are adventurous. However all of them have saved me at different points of my life, from whatever horrible thing I was facing.
10: Coal Miners Bride by Susan Campbell Bartoletti. This book is amazing, this was probably my first favorite book. I read it at least 10 times all the way through and would carry it with me everywhere.
9: What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen. Told you she would appear on here. She is one of those authors that sucks you into their world and you never wanna leave it. This books is one of many that amazed me.
8: The Host by Stephanie Meyer. I loved the Twilight books, not the movies, but the books were good. However The Host was a wonderful piece of art in my opinion. I was not bored once in the 700 pages the book had.
7: The Vampire Diaries (the original first 4 books) by L.J Smith. The first 4 books of this series were practically my whole world for a few months. I read them over and over again, along with listening to Paramore's Brick by Boring Brick album. The author sucked you into a world that just was terrifying yet wonderful all at the same time. The new books and show however disgrace the first 4 books.
6: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. I read this book at the end of my sophomore year of high school. It was a summer reading book before Junior Year started, and I expected not to like it. And yet I fell in love with it. I was so impressed with how Mark Twain had written it, I loved it from the start to finish.
5: The Fault in our Stars by John Green. If you haven't read this books, do not walk, run to the nearest book store to get this. It is amazing and beautiful. I have not read a book like this before. It makes you cry but not just for sadness, so many other reasons as well. I cried for last 30 pages or so. And yet I am going to be reading it again soon.
4: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. This book is amazing. This whole series is brilliant. If you do not like the movies, still read the books. They are way better trust me.
3: Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen. Another example of her amazing writing. I have every one of her books and read all of them.
2: Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. This book was one of Nicholas Sparks best in my opinion. I adored the whole story and felt compelled to keep reading. When I got to the end I was blown away at how well his story was written.
1: Just Listen by Sarah Dessen. This one is my favorite book ever. I love every book on this list and read them all probably twice each maybe even more. Yet this one is something that stands out to me and makes me happy each time I read it.
If you made it this far, thanks! If I had to pick one of them to read I would say any of them are good choices. Just reading any book gives me happiness and safety. I hope it does the same for you. :)
